“At first the recipes looked intimidating – I thought “I won’t be cooking this tonight!” But the level of attention and support was just right to learn on my own while making sure I made the dish right. Havingthe group break up to make different parts of the meal was really good, it made cooking feel more like a community effort.”

“I will definitely be back for more. Great size group. having both instructors was very helpful. Loved the attention at every step. One of the best courses I have ever had. ”

“Not difficult to make, but lots of steps and attention required. Hollandaise Made with fresh eggs served with asparagus, to die for. Love the peeling asparagus and dividing egg tricks. Lots of fun Great “date night” with my husband Can’t say enough good things. What a wonderful evening.”

“This was my first, but definitely not my last, cooking class with Lori. I gained a lot of confidence in the kitchen, and left the class with many new recipes to try that I knew how to prepare.”

-Janet

“Lori is a great teacher! I learned so much in just 3 hours. The kitchen was great! Everything was beautiful. The recipes seemed easy because Lori explained everything very well. Everything was delicious. I was so excited to take samples home for my husband. I have already made a pan sauce and told several friends about my experience. I am really looking forward to coming for another class. This is the best thing that I have done for myself in a long time.”

“Fantastic! Thanks so much I learned alot and laughed alot so well worth every penny! So much fun! The instructors were great and the other classmates were super nice and lots of fun.   Some receipes were involved, others were simple. It was a good mix in my opinion. Nothing was too hard to do!   Soooooo good! The salmon and étouffée were my favorites, followed by the mussels (which I’m cooking for my hubby this weekend I think!)   Some great chopping tips, info on seafood, and learning how to smoke meats in a wok was priceless!   I had a blast! Very much looking forward to my next class!”

“Suzanne and Fred were great. They were very knowledgeable, ready and willing to answer all questions, patient, and very involved with the class. I very rapidly felt comfortable working with people I didn’t know. The set up and atmosphere made that very easy.  The recipes were perfect. They were challenging enough to get us to work with what we learned and opened up good questions. The food was very enjoyable.  It was perfect. It exposed me to new foods that were very enjoyable. I learned so much about using knives and other basic equipment. More than I expected. Lots of good tips.  The session exceeded my expectations on all fronts. The Chefs were great, I learned more than I thought I would, and I walked away stuffed with good food. I can’t wait until next week.”

-Amy

Lori was fantastic as always. Fun and full of fabulous tips and encouragement. Everything was soooooooo good! Was very happy to learn how to sample spices properly (in a little cup with some warm water), cut onions without crying, make spice blends from scratch and much more.   I enjoyed myself and had fun Lots of fun Second class so far and each time there has been a great mix of people, making for a hugely enjoyable evening. Thanks Lori, I had another fabulous evening! Came away with alot of great tips and I’m all fired up to make some of those recipes. Wish I’d had more time to watch you do the stuffed tenderloin though. We were in the midst of making our dish so it was hard to step away. Looking forward to the next class!”

“Always a pleasure to be under Suzanne’s tutelege.  Nice people every time and Lori makes everyone feel so welcome.   Logical and easy to follow recipes that stretch your ability a little and keep you on the ball.   Everything was awesome and a well-planned menu gave interesting alternatives to the boring hum-drum appetizerrs others serve. I will be a star hostess this Christmas.   Lots of fun Light and comfortable atmosphere with lovely ladies to enjoy a Sunday afternoon with cooking yummy food.   My confidence builds on each visit to try new things. I made the truffles this evening as a treat. I did not have Kahlua so I substituted Cointreau. Would never have had the courage to substitute in the past! They came out awesome – festive orange-chocolate truffles. Am bringing them to the office tomorrow. Would never have brought anything I made to the office before I started attending CU. Thanks ”
